Apparel reviews of CW-X Men's Stabilyx Running Tights,Black,Large
Customer Review: Banished knee pains!
Rating: 5 Stars
I have used various brands of running and cycling tights/warmers for years - Pearl Izumi, 2XU, etc. When CW-X tights came out a number of years ago, I was intrigued by the stabylix design. I asked my daughter-in-law some questions - she is a Physical Therapist, Pilates instructor, and is certified in Kineseotaping. She had taped up my knees before various events - triathlons, marathons, and half Ironman - and it had really helped my knees deal with 40 years wear from competitive cycling and running. The pattern of the CW-X reminded me of the tape she used to put on me. She agreed, and said they were like "user installable kineseotape", so I purchased my first pair back then - this is the third pair, and won't be the last. I get about 3 years out of them washing and hang drying, like another reviewer recommended.
For me, they are more comfortable and joint/muscle stabilizing than other products I have tried, and seem to work as well as the professional taping I had done before events. Plus, they come in a variety of fabrics for different weather conditions! I have never tried their summer weight ventilating stabylix tights, but have used these and the 'smart fabric' Insulator version that tries to keep your temperature in a comfortable range - and it works pretty well, while providing even more compression.
Other reviewers have mentioned that these are restrictive and limit knee motion too much, but that has not been my experience at all. Even wearing the maximum thickness/compression version - the Insulator Stabylix - I was able to finish first in my division and in the top 10% of all age groups/divisions in the cycling stage of the last 2 Tri events I entered. While I really wish they would also make these available as leggings for faster T1/T2 times, I think that these are worth a look for anyone serious about their running/cycling sport, and their muscle/joint comfort.
